Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, it is not antibiotic so it is not for lung infection.
It is painkiller.
So you are not having any lung infection.
Your pain is mostly musculoskeletal pain.
So along with this drug, you should also do following things for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid movements causing pain.
2. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
3. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
